Vancouver Reveals Official FIFA World Cup 26™ Host City Poster

On April 15, 2025, Vancouver unveiled its Official FIFA World Cup 26™ Host City Poster, created by BC artist Jamin Zuroski. The artwork draws from local natural elements and Indigenous culture, capturing Vancouver’s deep connection to nature and the spirit of the game. This is the first time FIFA has introduced city-specific posters, highlighting the unique character of each host city. A large version of the poster is now displayed at BC Place, facing Terry Fox Plaza.

The design was selected through an open call for BC artists, with 57 submissions reviewed by a panel including local Indigenous Nations, BC Pavilion Corporation, Destination BC, and others. Zuroski’s piece was chosen from a shortlist of five finalists. The poster is part of a series of 16 and will be available for purchase starting April 19, 2025.
